Vitaly, my grandfather, passed away on 4 June after a short illness. He was 71 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 18 June.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Vitaly to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,250
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $180
• Transport of the deceased: $90
• Memorial gathering for the family: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
